I’ve heard such amazing things about this place so I was really excited to try it. I ordered my food on Uber eats so that may have made the difference with dine out. The pizza was OK, I didn’t love the cheese and there wasn’t a lot of sauce. However, the bread was great especially gluten-free. The fries were a little bit cold so that might be why they weren’t so good but I wasn’t in love. And the mac & cheese was OK. It was probably the best thing out of all three items that I tried. I just wish it had more cheese. I would definitely try it again, but would try different items or in person this time.
A vibrant spot with creative dishes and heartwarming vibes that’ll make you want to return for more delicious adventures!

On a Thursday evening a few weeks back, we called in a takeout order. Originally I had ordered a gluten free pizza, but Alfredo called us back to notify us that they were out of gf dough. Instead, we opted for the following: the kids’ gluten free mac and cheese (I am cheesy), a side salad (such a deal!), and GF I Am Beloved (an elevated version of the classic mac with a brisket-like lions mane mushroom/butternut squash/Brussel sprouts situation. Talk about a flavor explosion!
When we arrived, Alfredo explained the loyalty program - sign up and get $10 off your first order. He seamlessly allowed us to honor the offer on our visit. His thoughtfulness and customer service, coupled with the delicious food, made for a lovely evening. I wish there was a Cafe Gratitude in NYC because I would be there on a weekly basis for their clean eating, kindness, and good vibes! Also, I need the key lime pie ASAP.
Enjoy a welcoming vibe and attentive service with a menu full of variety that feels like a cozy home-cooked experience.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!! I have been to other Urban Plates but I Enjoyed this one for sure. Came with my coworker he's from San Diego and showed him this spot since we were on lunch. We met Karla I believe she was new ( I'm sorry if I got her name wrong) and she is amazing at Customer service being patient and kind as my coworker was orderering. She didn't rush but she was Patient and was also able to help us in Customer Service. Not only that but she went above and beyond but I can tell she was kind and so was other employees who took our plate and offered to even replenish our drinks and take our Plates. Love your Services!! I ordered the Steak platter with Brussel sprouts and mash potatoes and other was a Burger I forget what kind but we also purchased a Cookie with a complementary cookie. I enjoyed my meal today felt like I was cooking at home. Over all steak was super juicy mash potatoes had flavor so as the brussel sprouts. The cookies we had was Chocolate cookie and Gluten free Cookie with that Sea Salt on top was really Amazing. Over food was great, Service A++ Atmosphere was vining was looking at the Flower that's in black and white painted on the ceiling. Overall I was impressed by Karla. Karla you will do great!! Keep going YOU WILL DO WELL!! Thank you Urban Plates!!
Fresh, chewy dough with generous toppings and a diverse menu make this spot a go-to for pizza lovers in search of quality and efficiency.

I always try and remember HUGOS is ONLY good for the Churros.
Yes you can get vegan, vegetarian and gluten free there but after today I really don't think it's worth it. Service isn't great and food is bland, no flavor, lack of salsa and when I asked for salsa for 3 tiny burritos with very little meat, I get 1 small half full tiny cup. After tip , i spent $84 on 3 burritos, 2 drinks and 3 churros. Seems pretty steep for bland food and half way decent service. From now on the amazing GF Churros will be our only purchase
Exceptional service shines here, with proactive management ensuring a seamless experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Cora, the manager at this Culver City location, is awesome. I have a severe food allergy and Cora checked ingredients thoroughly before I ordered. And there was an issue with the payment terminal when I went to pay and Cora resolved the issue super professionally and kindly --- honestly just an experience that made my day. Highly recommend MOD as an affordable, yummy for anyone with a gluten allergy.

The gluten-free brunch of my dreams. Came here on New Year’s Day (yes they were open) and was greeted with open arms. Everything on the menu is gluten-free, so fresh and delicious. I had the breakfast sandwich as well as the persimmon ricotta toast, and the chocolate chip sea salt cookie. I also got a Matcha latte and just wow so good. Every bite I took was better than the next and the waiters were so kind and accommodating. They get their gluten-free bread all the way from San Francisco and it is a delicacy extreme. Cannot recommend this place enough.
This place offers a variety of delicious vegan options and has gained rave reviews for its unique, fluffy pizza crust and tasty sauces.

Too salty / too much sauce.
We only ordered gluten free options and maybe their regular menus are fine. Their gluten free 'pasta' was, in fact, Korean starch noodle (for japchae). In fact they kind of warned it (they said it was 'sweet potato noodle' which wasn't wrong). The noodles stuck with each other and the texture didn't really go well with the pasta sauce. The Shrimp Scampi was super salty, the California Bowl and the pizza had too much sauce on it.
I really loved their menu selections and had high expectations, so it was quite a disappointment.
BTW, this place is a take out place with a single big table where you can also dine in.
Experience a classy vibe with atmospheric lighting and attentive service, perfect for a memorable date night or casual gathering.

As someone that only eats gluten free, this was hands down the best sushi experience of my life. Do yourself a favor and order the dynamite lobster roll. SO good. You’re welcome. Also the most basic sake on their menu, $7 on the happy hour menu, was the best sake I’ve ever had.
A cozy hidden gem with unique flavors, tasty breakfast bowls, and irresistible desserts that keep everyone coming back for more!

Got the grand slam. Never would have guessed the pancakes were both vegan and gluten free. Everything was delicious. The sausage and eggs are definitely vegan, but taste great. Service was excellent, excited to try other things.
This spot offers a unique twist on soul food with a creative menu, amazing desserts, and beautiful plating that will leave you wanting more.

I was very happy with the flavors of the red ramen, and the bold ramen was good, too. Each ramen can be custom ordered with a variety of configurations and additions, including gluten free noodles. Service is outstanding, although I didn't care much for the discomfort of the space due to how small it is inside. Well worth a visit especially during hours when it isn't so busy.
A gem with an awesome variety of delicious, labeled options, great coffee, and a cozy vibe that keeps people coming back for more.

Absolutely top tier gluten free breakfast burritos. The Mediterranean flavors of the Hiho wrap were awesome and everything was super fresh and well made. Pretty much everything can be made GF here so I highly recommend for anyone with celiacs.

The food here is FANTASTIC! It is so hard to find really good vegan AND gluten-free food. This place is on it. My wife had the mushroom bordelaise, and I had 2 sushi rolls. 100% on point delicious.

Among the best of the current crop of taco distilleries in Los Angeles. The friendly Staff have figured out the queueing system and the result is lower waiting times. The tacos are fantastic. Tacos are all corn so ideal for gluten free types. Don’t forget the hibiscus onions and a cucumber cooler. Dine in options are limited to a few outdoor tables. Prices are reasonable although not displayed on menu.

Being allergic of Gluten isn’t so bad anymore now that I’ve found this place. As a former Fried Chicken connoisseur, the rice flour chicken is delicious and even crispier than regular fried chicken. It’s great Fried Chicken in general, you’d never know. Super flavorful. I like the regular plain flavor or honey garlic. It’s all amazing!

We had a very nice server and there’s a great ambiance at Scopa, perfect for dates and connecting with friends alike. They have a gorgeous bar, large window, candles on the tables, and all of our food came perfectly coursed. We were easily able to make a same-day reservation via the Resy app, and I do recommend making a reservation in advance because it was popping when we arrived. For parking, you can either park in the connected valet lot ($13 on a Monday) or look for free street parking (we found it pretty easily, but then again it was a Monday).
There are the top four absolute must-order items you should order to share:
1. Hot Antipasti - Scallops Oreganata ($23) with brown butter, bread crumbs, & lemon. I’m gluten free so I asked for no breadcrumbs, and I also recommend ordering a side of gluten free bread to dip in the brown butter after you finish enjoying the scallops because they have the absolute best gluten free cheesecheese bread! They only came with 2 scallops in an order so consider ordering enough so each person can have at least 1 full scallop.
2. Hot Antipasti - Mortadella Meatballs ($21) with pistachio pesto, arugula, & parmesan cheese. This came with 3 medium-large sized meatballs covered in a delicious green pesto - don’t let looks deceive you, even if this isn’t how you expect meatballs to look they’re delish.
3. Cold Antipasti - Heirloom Tomatoes ($18) with sweet onion, basil, ricotta salata cheese, sherry vinegar, & olive oil. If you enjoy tomatoes of all shapes and sizes, this is the dish for you. My favorite were the little orange tomatoes.
4. Salad - Raw Brussels Sprouts Salad ($22) with generous pecorino romano cheese, parsley, grapes, olive oil, sherry vinegar, & toasted almonds. This was a good portion size and the best raw Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had.
While I did really enjoy the flavor of oysters themselves and their sauces, and I do want to put them as item 5 to order, each of the oysters had some shell bits had to spit out, and it only came with 1 spoon and 0 mini forks. The oysters come with lemon slices, cocktail sauce, shredded horseradish, mignonette, and are $4.50 each with a minimum of 6. I would order them again, but enjoy them carefully and hope that they’re shucked better next time.
However…
Maybe things were off because it was a Monday and they had multiple large last minute parties walk in. Maybe I should have gone for the pastas instead of the below because it is an Italian restaurant. Maybe I’m just a person who enjoys more seasoning on seafood or less sauce on pork chops, but a few of the dishes weren’t exactly as good as I was expecting.
Unless you love canned tuna, absolutely avoid the Sicilian Tuna Cold Antipasti ($19) with market green beans, fingerling potato, capers, lemon, & olive oil. It wasn’t until we mentioned to our server our strong disappointment with the dish, as we were expecting either Tuna Crudo or Seared Tuna, that our server told us that he usually steers guests away from it. It also had zero seasoning, and boy did it need it. It also feels like this dish should have automatically been served with crackers.
The Amberjack Crudo ($25) with watermelon radish, bulls blood micro greens, & herb oil needed a combo-sauce or a stronger flavored oil, as it was very bland as-is. Luckily not a fishy-fish, but still lackluster for their only fish crudo on the menu.
For the Mains, they were already sold out of the 24oz T-bone Steak ($82) when we arrived, and the server recommended the Pork Chop. The generous portion of Pork Chop ($66) came with crispy fingerling potatoes, roasted shallots, olives, capers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, & fresh herbs. The balsamic was more of a thick, sweet, heavy glaze, and it overpowered the meat. Personally, we both felt it was over-sauced.
Kosher Chinese meat restaurant with good service and good food. Gluten-free food is available and listed on a separate menu.
We had a pleasant dining experience.
Enjoy a charming atmosphere with notable improvements that make it an inviting spot for a casual hangout.

Great service, good food, lovely setting! We used to come here often when we lived in the neighborhood but we hadn't been in a while. Loved the improvements they've made since our last visit - especially the gluten free options on the menu! Would love to know which items are soy free as well.
Thank you!
